Favorability of anime movies in the U.S. 2020, by ethnicity
In a January 2020 survey, it was found that white adults were the least interested in anime overall, with just 28 percent saying that they considered anime movies to be very or somewhat favorable. By contrast, 40 percent of Hispanic adults said the same. More African Americans admitted that they had never heard of anime than respondents in any other ethnic group, though overall favorability of the genre was similar among African Americans and Hispanic adults.
